EASTBOUND TO WESTVILLE

I am eastbound to Westville and my heart is feeling light
I’m traveling the highway in the middle of the night
Fiddle in the back seat my eyes upon the road
I am eastbound to Westville, Oklahoma’s in my soul
Been living in the city
Hoping for my dreams to grow
Too many people all together in one place
They get too scared to say ‘hello’
Been living in the city
Scraping for my piece of pie
Crowded lonely among strangers
‘Til I can’t remember why
I am eastbound to Westville, all my troubles left behind
The further down the road I go, the easier my mind
My fiddle in the backseat and my eyes upon the road
I am Eastbound to Westville, Oklahoma’s in my soul
Buried in my memory
Someone I used to know,
He gave his heart and hand to me
So many years ago
I hear he’s on his own again
I know how that can be
Remembering his honest smile
Will he remember me
I am Eastbound to Westville with a longing in my heart
There’s nothing else to do for it but make another start
Fiddle in the backseat and my eyes upon the road
I am Eastbound to Westville Oklahoma’s in my soul
They say you can’t go home again
But what am I to do?
I’m not the girl I was back then
And to my heart I must be true
I am Eastbound to Westville my hopes are riding high
The stars are fading back into the orange and yellow sky
Fiddle in the back seat, my eyes upon the road
I am eastbound to Westville, Oklahoma in my soul
